Variation on the same shape

For this collection Xavier Brisoux has worked around the concept of an anagram and the use of a single shape interpreted in many different ways throughout the collection. This playful process on shape is completed by a graphic feature of uneven striping. These “messed” lines are mismatching thanks to a technical knitting process called “partial knitting”. It’s a reminder of lines of computer programming made only with 0 and 1. Xavier Brisoux has in fact worked very much like a programmer who has only a few “words” to tell his story, but therefore has an endless world to create thanks to the different combination of these few elements. Some other pieces play with parts of normal sweaters displaced to rebuild a new piece.

For this collection the designer has introduced new tones of blues, blueberry, and pinks along with his usual greys. Variations on colours are expressed through a very soft virgin wool and cashmere. Accessories have been developed extending to a line of jewellery.

The photos have been taken on the campus of EDHEC, business school in Roubaix – France

The collection has been sponsored by BIELLA YARN who has provided yarns for the catwalk designs. Xavier Brisoux would therefore like to thank Andrea Weiss and Fabrice Motte for their support.
